-Ah-ha!

Hello, Katy! I love skateboarding with my friends.

Can we make something yummy with courgettes?

-Definitely! That'll be so much fun!

-Katy, can you cook with me, please?

I can, Cosmo! And YOU can cook with me, too!

I wonder if I'll get to have a go at skateboarding?

I've never tried it before!

Right, let's get everything packed up and be on our way!

# Off on a journey and I'm coming to you

# It's going to be busy and there's lots to do

# Get ready to help, join in and have fun

# Let's cook a feast for everyone! #

I've got my skateboard and I'm ready to do some skating,

and I've just found Cosmo and all of his friends.

-Hey, Cosmo!

-Hello.

-What's your name?

-Teo.

-Paddy.

-Nasser.

Cool. It is so good to meet you all. I'm really excited!

-What are we going to do today, Cosmo?

-Can we make something

-with courgettes and go skating?

-You bet we can, Cosmo!

-Do you want to join in too?

-ALL: Yeah!

Brilliant! OK, follow me, let's go! This way.

-Welcome to my outdoor kitchen!

-ALL: Yay!

Who wants to know what we're going

-to cook today?

-ALL: Me!

All right. Today's recipe is delicious.

It's Katy's courgette cake. Look at this!

ALL: Mmmmm!

But, before we start cooking, we've got to do something important.

What do you think it is?

-ALL: Wash your hands!

-You've got it. We need to wash our hands.

Come on, let's get going.

# Roll up your sleeves

# Give your hands a wash with slippy-dippy soap

# Splish splash splosh Have you done your hands?

# Washed and dried Sleeves rolled up

# Apron tied. What can you do? I can cook! #

Right, let's get started on Katy's courgette cake!

The first thing we need is some soft butter in a bowl,

and we're going to add some soft brown sugar.

This is a special sugar, actually.

It's got a really nice smell. Why don't you smell the sugar,

and tell me what you think it smells like?

-It smells like raisins.

-It is like raisins, actually!

Right, let's add the sugar to the butter in the bowl.

And when you've added it,

we're going to use our fork to do some squishing!

Squish it up against the side of the bowl, look.

Squish, squash, squish, squash.

OK, let's put our bowls to the side, and then bring your cup

into the centre of the mat, because we are going to crack an egg!

Eggs can come from all sorts of animals.

They can come from ostriches and ducks,

-but this egg comes from a...

-Chicken!

What noise does a chicken make, team?

ALL: Bwark! Bwark! Bwark! Bwark!

Come on, let's crack this egg.

So we hold the handle of the cup, and then

we have to knock on the door, so knock, knock, knock, make a crack.

Then use your thumbs to open it up, and open it up into the cup.

That's it!

Now, we're going to use our fork again to whisk this egg up,

so we just scrape off the sugar mixture.

That's it. So you hold the handle, and you can join in with this, too.

Get your cup and your fork and go like this.

Whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk!

-What's happened to your egg?

-It's like orange juice.

We wouldn't want to drink this, would we?

And, put your forks down, because we're going to pour this eggy

mixture into our sugary mixture, so let's whoosh it in after three.

One, two, three, whoosh!

All the egg is swimming around the sugar!

Let's use our wooden spoon to mix it together.

Keep mixing, everyone. That's it!

-Is mine the muddiest?

-Yeah!

And, everyone stop mixing!

I wonder what ingredient we're going to need next

for Katy's courgette cake? What's next? Well, let us see

if YOU can guess what it could be!

So, what have we got?

Brussels sprouts, some courgettes,

and a very nice green car.

What would you choose for Katy's courgette cake?

I'll give you some clues, so you can guess what it might be.

The special ingredient is green and is a vegetable.

A car?! Well, that car's green,

but it's certainly not a vegetable, is it?

So we can take that one away. Here's another clue.

The special ingredient is green, and it's a vegetable,

and it's long, like a cucumber.

Brussels sprouts are round, aren't they?

So we can take that one away, too, which leaves us with courgettes.

We're going to need courgettes for Katy's courgette cake, of course!

And I went to find some.

I've come to Esher, in Surrey, to look for some courgettes,

and I've come to a farm where you can pick your own.

Now, this is what we're looking for, so let's go!

And here they are, the courgette plants!

And the courgettes are hiding, just down here.

So, let's pick some. Now, I'm going to wear some gloves,

because the stems of the courgette plant have tiny spikes on them.

Look at this courgette!

It's got a flower growing on the end of it,

and you can eat that flower if you want to.

But this one isn't quite ready to pick yet.

Oh, look. This one, on the other hand, is perfect.

So I'll pick that one, and put it in my basket.

Yep, I think that'll be enough for everyone.

I just need to give these a wash,

and they'll be perfect for our courgette cake.

Those courgettes were quite hard to find, but we got some,

and they're here to use right now.

The first thing we have to do

is to snap them. Hold on,

snapping reminds me of an animal.

-What animal goes "snap, snap, snap"?

-Crocodile!

-That's right.

Why don't we pretend to be crocodiles? Put your arms like this

-and go...

-ALL: Snap! Snap!

OK, let's snap our courgette.

Hold the courgette out in front of us, like this,

like a pair of handlebars.

Then we're going to snap it in half, like this. Snap!

-Done it!

-And if you put it like this, it looks like a crocodile.

-Snap! Snap! Snap!

-Snap! Snap! Snap!

Now, we have got to grate these bits of courgette, and to do that,

we're going to use our grater,

and we're going to work in pairs.

One person is going to push

the courgettes down at the top

of the grater, and the other person is going to turn the handle.

So, you need to put your courgette

into the top of the grater.

Get that grey lid and push down on it.

And grate.

Push down really hard, Nasser. You can do it!

When you've grated all the courgette, use your fork

to scrape out the rest in the round bit, but it's very

sharp in there, so be careful with your fingers, everybody.

-Everyone finished?

-ALL: Yeah!

Right, let's add our grated courgette to our bowl.

The next ingredient is this. It's called mixed spice.

Let's add that to our bowl. Sprinkle, sprinkle.

And the next thing we're going to add is some of this.

It's self-raising flour, and guess what?

It's magic!

When you add self-raising flour to your recipe,

it makes everything rise up when it goes in the oven.

So, shall we pretend to be the courgette cake

rising up in the oven? So we start down really small, like this.

Then, when we cook in the oven, we go like this.

ALL: Oooooooooop!

-OK, so let's add some flour to our bowl. Snowstorm!

-Snowstorm!

Finished.

Then we're going to mix everything up using our wooden spoon.

You've got to keep mixing it

until all of that flour completely disappears.

-This is hard work!

-I know, Paddy, tell me about it. My arm's aching!

And stop mixing! Our next ingredient we're going to use is this.

-What do you think this is?

-Lime!

-That's it, it's a lime!

And limes are very, very tangy. Who wants to do a lime face? Ready?

OK, we're only going to use half a lime,

but we've got to be very strong to squeeze all the lime out.

So, boys, let's see your muscles!

ALL: Grrrrrrrr!

Take your lime and squeeze it into the bowl, like this. Squeeze!

Get all the lime juice out.

And then, of course, we have to mix it all up again!

Finally, we're going to spoon the mixture into the loaf tin

which I've already oiled for you.

To do that, we're just going to gloop it in, like this.

Gloop!

Try and get really big mountainfuls of the mixture.

That's it!

And put your wooden spoon into your bowl, and that is it.

You have done it, everyone!

You've put all the ingredients together all by yourself,

and now it's time to put them in the oven to cook.

But remember, ovens are hot, so don't go near.

Ask a grown-up to help you here!

# Now we've cooked with you

# And had lots of fun

# Let's tidy up and think of all the things that we have done!

-# There was...

-Cracking...

-Grating...

-Squeezing...

-Mixing...

# Clearing any mess and putting things away

# Is always fun to do at the end of the day! #

And here are the courgette cakes, boys. They've all cooked.

-They smell absolutely amazing! Shall we have a look?

-Yes!

OK, let's have a look at Cosmo's. Open up, Cosmo!

-Oooh! What's happened to yours?

-It's soft, look.

-It's soft, and what's this bit here?

-Crack.

-A big crack!

Yeah, because it was rising too much, it got a crack in the middle.

-Do you remember what made it rise?

-The self-raising flour.

You've got it!

OK, let's put the lids on top and we'll save it for later.

We've travelled to you, we've cooked and had fun,

now let's have a party with everyone!

ALL: Yay!

Come on, boys, let's go. And you can come with us!

Look, everyone's waiting for us. Shall we go and share our food?

-ALL: Yes.

-Come on, let's go.

-Mmmm, it's yummy, Pads. What was your best part?

-Cracking the egg.

-Oh, wow!

-Mmm!

-Oh, it smells gorgeous!

Is it yummy? Shall I try some?

Mmm! This is really yummy.

(Make it at home.)

OK, we'll make it at home, yeah?

Mmm, that is delicious! And did you make this all by yourself?

That's amazing, Teo, congratulations!

Paddy, what other vegetables do you think we could use

if we made it again?

-Erm, carrots.

-Mmm, definitely carrot. So, what can you do?

ALL: I can cook!

-With me and...

-ALL: You!

And if you would like to make Katy's courgette cake,

you can find the recipe on our website...

Right, enough eating, who wants to do some skateboarding?

-KIDS: Yeah!

-Come on, let's go!
